Fall 2023 - Prof. Soroosh is a rare breed of thoughtful, engaging, and understanding. His passion for his academics is unwavering and appallingly clear. Though I'd never consider a degree in any STEM field, Soroosh had me on the edge of my seat while learning about immunology and bodily systems. He has the unique ability to turn otherwise dull subjects into compelling eloquence. He's an incredible lecturer and honestly deserves more recognition.

Fall 2024 - This class turned out to be a lot harder than I expected due to the unexpectedly difficult tests. I 10000% mean it when I say that you HAVE TO write literally everything down from the slides onto the cheat sheet to do well (and even though I did I still couldn't score 90+ on the exams). Tbh, I don't even know what I could improve on to get a better score -- the exams are not cumulative though which is a plus. Every question wrong easily racked up points, and with the class only being out of 340 points (100 per each of the 3 exams + 40 for easy homework), it's very easy to drop down letter grades. Not too sure how strongly the curve was though since I got about 83% overall but still ended with a B (so the curve didn't help me at all). Overall, I don't recommend this professor unless he changes how harshly he grades or the grading structure since it is quite difficult and involves a bit of luck in getting an A.

Fall 2023 - Dr. Soroosh is an amazing teacher! He is super down to earth and funny, and he genuinely cares about his students. He is a great professor because he is passionate about research and the MIMG department in general. I had him for 180A and B and loved my experience. He helped me a lot with my public speaking by giving knowledgeable insight and making class a safe place to make mistakes and learn to be better. He also teaches MIMG101 and is gonna teach LS7C in the future so I highly recommend him! If you want to be his favorite, mention how much you love Coldplay or the Golden State Warriors.
